your blood pressure readings are in normal range. so it is unlikely it has caused for diziness. diziness may be due to sudden drop in blood pressure when you stand from from bed in early morning which is called postural hypotension. so dont stand at once from bed. change your posture gradually from supine to standding. check blood presssure regularly from your family physician. get his advice regarding lisprinol dose according to blood presssure monitering results.
